That's right. If my product uses somebody else's library, I 
should/could include a mention of it in my About box but otherwise it 
should not be (in typical program) explicitely visible to the end 
user. However, as someone said in another email in this thread, as a 
developer, I want to see more info, description, examples etc. Since 
in library only the stack scripts are the true library, the cards can 
be easily used for that documentation, examples, etc. If I use the 
library as library, I just 'start using' it. If I want to see more, I 
just 'go to' it. No need for custom properties or special conventions.

my 2 cents.
